How to Swap stainless steel brake lines in s14?

[s14zenki21]

Hi there so I recently purchased some stainless steel brake lines front and rear for my 95 s14. I'm having trouble trying to take off the OEM rubber brake lines. Mine are pretty old and that's one of the problems. Any ideas on what to do?

Try using a good set of line wrenches instead of plain box wrenches. Also, soak them with PB blaster for a while and then be sure to wipe it off the nut part before you try to break them loose, so it doesn't make your wrench slip.

a flat head a 14mm wrench, and u good! do the hardest one to remove is the one on the chassis, first u need to loosen it with that special wrench cost about 10 bucks, and wont strip your lines... then u need to pop out the clip with the flat head, and install the new one

Okay thanks a lot! I think I stripped them a bit on both sides on the rear :P fml. Gonna try it again tomorrow. Do you know the name of that kind of wrench?

I told you the name. It's called a line wrench.

No problem. And they come in so handy, I'd suggest buying a small set of them. Like 5pcs set. I use them on a lot of bolts and nuts that are in places I can't get a socket and my 12 point box wrenches are starting to strip the head. It saved me from hunting down six sided box wrenches.

Good idea!

use a vise grip wrench since they are stripped
